He grinned softly, wrapping his wing around her as he pulled her close, sitting her up beside him so the tray was in reach. "If I ate all those delectable dishes and neglected to ask how they were made, I would have made very poor use of my time." With his other hand, he lifted the lid of the tray, murmuring as he kissed her cheek, "I've prepared for you a sampling of world cuisine."
He gestured to the various small plates, naming their country of origin. "Thinly sliced sausages and smoked meats and cheeses, from Germany. Sweet pastries, from Greece. Eggs, poached, with a Spanish sauce. Russian oatmeal. Steamed rice and tamagoyaki, from Japan. And slices of several varieties of toast, from all over the world." He grinned softly, scooting the cart into position for her.
As he left her the food, he stood, going to the door and resting his hand on the knob. He looked down at the phoenix, giving it a very serious look. "If you set anything on fire, Alexandria will be very cross. You can explore the entire library without touching wood. There is stone and tile and metal enough for you to perch." He opened the door a crack, allowing the phoenix to leave the room.
